Course Requirements
1. Attendance:
a. Clinical Education assignments are mandatory and assigned in the required areas of (1) Equipment Intensive, (2) Upper Extremity Intensive, (3) Lower Extremity Intensive, and (4) General Medical experiences. Students must have experiences in each of these areas as assigned by the Clinical Coordinator.
b. As a guideline, students must complete 50 (minimum) - 70 hours of clinical education, field experience, and general medical experiences each month.
1. Students must work with their ACI to arrange at least 3 days off/each 7 days.
2. Students missing more than 2 consecutive days must provide a MD excuse.
3. Students with absences will be required to make up the experiences with an ACI supervising a similar area (equipment intensive, upper extremity, lower extremity, or general medical) during days off, holidays, or breaks.
2. Clinical experiences are conducted at several clinical education sites:
Clinical Education and Field Work Sites with an ACI
(Clinical proficiencies may be evaluated with these instructors)
A. Winona State University Athletic Training (Brian Zeller Ph.D., ATC, Stacey Czaplewski, M.Ed., ATC, Brandon Donahue, M.S., ATC, Holly Dibert, M.S., ATC, Kim Sieve, M.S., ATC, or Shellie F. Nelson, Ed.D., ATC)
B. WSU Gymnastics (Nora Kraemer, ATC)
C. Saint Mary’s University Athletic Training (Ambjor Brown, MS, ATC. Kristen Stoneberg, ATC)
D. Winona Senior High School Athletic Training (Bill Jacobs, ATC)
E. Arcadia High School (Jill Messling, ATC)
F. Cotter Senior High School ( Brandon Donahue, M.S., ATC)
G. Lewiston High School (Brandon or Nora)
H. Rushford High School (Judi Tekautz, ATC)
3. Clinical Proficiencies will be evaluated by the ACI using the Web-based Clinical Proficiency Assessment Tool.
4. Students will be assigned to an ACI by the Athletic Training Program Director or Clinical Coordinator. ACI will complete a student evaluation at the end of each month and students will complete an evaluation on their ACI and the Site each month.
5. Students will complete 12-18 hours of clinical education per week as scheduled by the ACI. (This is guideline for time only – the athletic training education program is outcome based and not focused on time.)
6. Students must complete the Athletic Training Student Hours Form and have it approved and signed by the ACI he/she is assigned to each week. This compilation of hours is necessary for some state licensure or registration and must be turned in to the Clinical Coordinator each Monday.

8. Students are expected to follow all WSU Athletic Training policies as outlined in the Athletic Training Handbook. Students must also follow the guidelines of the clinical site and supervisor.
9. Students will demonstrate competency appropriate to his/her level by the end of each semester for the ACI.
GRADING:
The following documents will be reviewed for grading purposes:
1) Clinical Hour Sheets (to demonstrate participation) – Student’s grade will be lowered if a student misses practicum experiences and does not make-up these experiences. A grade of Incomplete will be given to students that have been absent and haven’t had the opportunity to make-up experiences (see attendance section). 100 pts
2) Completed Clinical Proficiencies on Web -- minimum of 85% of required proficiencies for each semester (See Web based Clinical Proficiency Assessment Tool: https://assessment.winona.edu/hhp/login.jsp). 100 pts
3) Monthly Evaluation Forms (demonstrating successful progress and participation) -- students
must demonstrate proper progress in attaining clinical proficiencies and professional behaviors. Students that receive two below average ACI monthly evaluations will meet with the ATEP Program Director and determine appropriate remediation. If improvement is not seen by the end of the semester student’s grade will reflect this below average performance. 50 pts
3) Individual Clinical Education Plan (ICEP) and weekly Reflective Journals must be completed and turned into the D2L drop box. Format available on ATEP webpage. 50 pts
4) Module Assignments: Case studies, integrated skills labs, and proficiency application. 100 pts
Grading Scale
A = 400-360 pts
B = 359-320 pts
C = 319-280 pts
D = 279 – 240
F = 239- 220
I = Students who have missed 1/4 of the time for extenuating circumstances (MD note or instructor discretion) may receive an Incomplete and have ½ of the next semester to make-up missed clinical experiences in the appropriate areas with an ACI and complete the necessary proficiency assessments and journal assignments.
